Update: I went to System > Administration > Hardware Drivers and removed the proprietary fglrx driver, then restarted my computer. glxinfo and glxgears started working again, and told me I had direct rendering. However, turning on compiz gave me a completely white screen, and all sides of the 'cube' were completely white. That's another subject though.
Anyway, when I reactivated fglrx, this bug came back. glxinfo gave the same erroneous output and I no longer have direct rendering. -- glxinfo badRequest (invalid request code or no such operation) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/293012 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
